Configure your profile with Texas as your location and you will be able to view the Texas forum. Re-post your call for a Metroplex FReeper meet and greet.
If no one takes the lead in organizing an event, you do it. Then post the particulars on the Texas forum and in a thread with Activism and Texas categories selected. Make sure you do that at least 3 days before the target date, then remind folks again the day before.
The first meeting can be a commiseration pity party, but only if you all vow to meet again in a month for a rebuilding meeting. Every great comeback starts with one person taking one positive steep. That's how leaders are born. Pretty soon more will join in and eventually a movement is reborn. Ignore the naysayers as they never accomplish anything.
Okay, I edited my profile so that it shows that I’m in Texas. Now how do I find the Texas board? I usually view the forum as ‘latest posts’.
